Host agreement
The agreement covering approved programs on Birby. You accept it when you apply to host.
This sits on top of the terms of service, which apply to everyone. This one applies to you because you run a program.
1. Hosting privileges
On approval of your program and payment of the hosting fee, you may create and run that program on Birby. Approval is for the program you described. A materially different show is a new application.
2. What you are responsible for
- Your program complies with the content standards and the community guidelines, every broadcast, not just the one you were approved on.
- You are responsible for what airs, including what your on-screen guests do. You have the tools: remove, block, ban, seat lock and mute. Use them.
- You have the rights to broadcast what you broadcast.
- Nothing you air is infringing or illegal.
3. Fees
Hosting requires a fee per program. It is charged through our payment processor.
Not drafted: refunds on removal for cause. Whether a host fee is refunded when a program is removed for violating the standards is for counsel. It will be stated here before any fee is charged. Nothing on this page currently states a refund policy in either direction.
4. Recording, replays and licence
You may record your own show. When you do, everyone in the room sees an on-screen indicator for as long as it runs. You may publish a recording as a replay, which makes it a public page. That is your decision and it is off by default.
Flagged for counsel. Publishing a replay publishes your guests, not just you. The consent your guests gave by joining a live room is not obviously the same as consent to a permanent public page, and the licence you grant Birby to host it needs to be drafted. Two-party-consent jurisdictions apply here too.
5. Suspension and removal
Programs are subject to the enforcement policy: warning, suspension, then removal at strike 3. Severe violations skip the ladder. You can appeal once.
6. Term and termination
Not drafted. Term, notice periods, which clauses survive termination, and what happens to already-published replays if you leave, are all for counsel.
7. Parties
Not yet named. The Nifty Company An agreement needs two parties. This one currently has one.
